you think it's crazy that drug and tobacco companies lied about their product not being addictive, provenly knowing otherwise, yet nobody expected them to ever have to pay reparations to their victims?

try convincing someone today that Facebook, Twitter, and Co. should pay reparations for being addictive. In the future, people will flip their shit about this not being the norm like we do when hearing about cocaine in coca cola

A Los Angeles jury has ordered YouTube and Facebook to pay 3 million USD to a woman who showed how these social media platforms made her addicted. Another domino has fallen.

They surfaced emails in which executives discuss targeting pre-teens even though their Terms of Service exclude anyone under 13 years old. That's pretty damning.

It always amazes me how bad businesspeople are at opsec. Rule one is never to write anything in email that you don't want read back to you in court. Sending emails that say "hey, shall we do some crimes together dot txt" is a really beginner mistake.
